When your country's unelected prime minister’s transphobic hate speech, to cheers and applause of their own cronies, is everywhere, don't for a second let it make you feel sad or alone — you're not.
Let it make you angry. Angry enough to effect change.
You know what, after spending a few days reintroducing myself to PC-based VR, the two primary ecosystems (Oculus & SteamVR) have veeery little going for them. I think an app-based approach like visionOS provides so many more opportunities. If you want to e.g. watch a movie, you can just watch a movie. You don't have to download some teenage game dev's asset store hodgepodge fake cinema environment with cutesy developer art textures, and spend 60 seconds loading in to it
@a6ff0b2b from disassembling SkyLight and friends, I /think/ it aborts early when it encounters the key, and just doesn't go down any of the snap calculation code paths. Though I could see that maybe querying for said key could introduce lag of its own — but considering it doesn't happen with non-USB input devices maybe that's not it
@a6ff0b2b ‼️ Another piece of information: I don't believe it's AppKit's window snapping at all, because if you hold the option key to disable snapping you still get the window drag lag (just without the jitter).
I have toggled all the mouse preferences I can find like acceleration et al and it makes no difference
@a6ff0b2b ok, so I was able to reproduce on an M1 MacBook Air with just any old USB RF mouse. The screen resolution has to be above a certain threshold to show it easily (but 2560x1440 was enough).
It did not reproduce with the Magic Trackpad over USB, so it must be something to do with mice specifically. This wasn't an expensive mouse with a high refresh rate, just a cheap mouse
TL;DR it's not you!

@a6ff0b2b (my VM recording is with a second account logged in in the background fwiw. But it’s also on an Intel NUC which is CPU-starved and should more easily show CPU related performance issues)
@a6ff0b2b write something to peg one CPU, and see if it reproduces more easily on BT? 🤔 Try connecting to the machine over Screen Sharing and if it repros there via a VNC cursor
@a6ff0b2b I can't repro on M1 at aaaaall. I would be curious to hear if it can repro on any Intel machine, or with any AMD GPU. What kind of mouse/trackpad are you using, too? And what screen resolution?
Capcom putting a stake in the ground and saying Resident Evil 4 for Apple platforms is a $60/€69 game, but supports iPhone & iPad 'for free’, is a good move for the App Store IMO. Developers have priced themselves into the ground for the past decade and honestly paid-upfront software needs to start going back up. I think we've all spent way too long optimizing for the people who don't want to buy our software instead of the ones who do. Expenses and the cost of living sure aren’t going down 💸
Woke up this morning to find my other half had got up early to ninja preorder a 15 Pro Max without me knowing 😂 I might upgrade myself later in the year, but for now I'm staying put. That Natural Titanium color is calling to me, though…
How is it that the Messages data store is still allowed to balloon in size until there’s no space for anything else left and the device grinds to a halt and refuses software updates? Because it forces people to buy larger sized iPhones and iCloud plans, sure. But seriously? This is with Messages in iCloud *enabled*. I shouldn’t need local copies of /anything/, certainly not 50GB worth. Where’s the ‘offload attachments’ option?

Incredible-looking new animation app for iPad from the Procreate folks, Procreate Dreams. When you think of industry-defining apps for iPad, Procreate is top of the list in the same way that the Adobe tools and Quark defined desktop publishing in the 90s
